Yesterday, we were to hold a barbeque for staff and residents. Instead, at mid-day, it was so dark that the street lighting came on.
The heavens opened, and the torrential downpour was even greater than that of a few days ago, noted here !
The drains and downpipes could not cope with the amount of water that was suddenly pouring down.
Flooding inevitably occurred, including a serious situation in the Cathedral Hall. We are concerned lest the water have soaked the wood-block flooring, causing it to warp as it dries.
"We are concerned lest the water have soaked..." A splendid, if unusual, use of the subjunctive after 'lest', Monsignore! Was it deliberate?
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me!
ReplyDelete- You will doubtless be delighted to hear that I spelled 'show' with an 'e' when writing the parish notices this weekend!
Obscurantism is the new black.
